SUMMARY

The world has changed a lot in the last
hundred years. It will probably change
even more in the next hundred. Some
people do not like the changes and wish
they could go back to the simpler world of
the past. But the past was not so
wonderful.

Many people lived short unhappy lives
without modern medicine. Anyway, it
would be impossible to forget the science
we have learned. Even if there were no
money for research, some interested
people would keep thinking about science.
HOMEWORK
Was the past
wonderful or not?
Make sentences
with your own ideas.
e.g.
As history shows, in the past, we had to
wash our clothes by hand, because we had no
washing machines. So I don’t think the past was
wonderful.
e.g.
As history shows, in the past, we were able
to skate on the Takamatsu Pond in winter. We
didn’t need to worry about global warming. I
think the past was wonderful.
